A couple of months ago I was asked to do an interesting commission. It is the 130th anniversary of the Teatro Ciro in Albacete and the director asked if it was possible to build him a copy of the theatre facade as it was in the 1880's. As well as a few carriages, a chestnut seller and a knife seller.

This is the original theatre....

and my version made from System X parts and Victorian Mansion windows

I've just received my first view of it in the display case !!! I shall update the photos when the diorama is finished.

Just a quick message to anyone who has emailed me or left questions in the comments section of my blog. I seam to be having some problems with my email account and blogger account. Several recent emails have gone directly to my bin box and some of my sent messages seam to have been classed as spam or trash as well.
I'm also having trouble with replying to comments on the blog, I've tried several times to reply to them but I can't get my own comments to appear. I've no idea whats gone wrong but please bare with me if you not heard back from me I'm very sorry about this and I hope I can get it sorted.

I'll try and answer some of the questions I've had here

Houghton Hall Comments:
no this isn't a kit and you cant buy it online. I designed and built it myself from several different Playmobil sets.

Green Gables:
I'm sorry Green Gables has already sold.

French & Mexican Carriages
I'm sorry these were special commissions and I don't have anymore for sale.

Clarridges
I'm sorry that sold as soon as I finished it several years ago.

Fairy Castle
Sorry that sold a while ago

Gray Mansion
The conservatory is an old Calico Critters ones they stopped selling a while ago

Blog Changes

I'm currently working on some major changes to this blog. When I first created it I didn't really know what I was doing so I ended up creating a "page" for all of my large items. Several years ago you could only have 20 pages per blog, so I split my blog across several eg. Victorian, Nautical, Medieval.Now I know what I'm doing a little bit better I'm working on moving all of that content back into one blog site so everything can be tagged and sorted to make it easier for visitors to find what they're looking for.So the other blog sites will be closed down one by one and you'll be redirected to the correct page here. Please forgive me for any broken links etc that might occur while I'm sorting it all out :)

About Me

I've been a collector of Playmobil for over ten years now. My first piece was the 5300 Victorian Mansion, scince then my collection has grown to include Medieval, Pirates, Adventure and lots more Victorians.
I started customising Playmobil a couple of years ago begining with Victorian room sets and now I try my hand at all sorts of projects.
